Issues come following a weekend of major improvement works to the rail network which saw King Cross station closed on Saturday and yesterday.

The fault with the signalling system is between Bayford and Cuffley, affecting signals in both directions.

A signalling fault has also been confirmed in the Knebworth area, this means that services running towards Stevenage will be delayed as they will be running at a reduced speed.

Services have to run a reduced speed and stop before the signal to received authority to proceed by the signaller. As each train is required to do this delays will occur on our services on this route.

??#LNERUpdate - Due to a fault with the signalling system between #KingsCross and #Peterborough trains have to run at reduced speed on the northbound line. Train services to and from these stations may be subject to disruption on all routes.
